Telsa Still Hasn't Figured Out How To Paint Cars, Will Try Wrapping Them Instead
Telsa Still Hasn't Figured Out How To Paint Cars, Will Try Wrapping Them Instead-July 2024

That’s  Forest Green.

’s are notorious and now, that well-known level of care will be on full display as t gets into .

Tesla asserts that these aren’t typical vinyl wraps, but rather colored paint protection film, which means it’s thicker and more expensive. owners can now choose to have their cars wrapped in seven different colors. These wraps will cost owners either $7,500 or $8,000 (including installation) depending on the color at a .

Wrap your Model 3 or Model Y in one of our premium Color Wraps, only available through Tesla. Offered in seven exclusive colors, this self-healing urethane-based film protects the paint beneath from chips, scratches and swirling.

Satin Rose Gold. Breathtaking.

Right now, only two service centers are participating: West Covina and Carlsbad – both in . One can assume more will be added in short order. For $7,500, you can get Slip Gray, Satin Ceramic White or Satin Stealth Black. Step up to $8,000 and you’ve got your choice of Glacier Blue, Forest Green, Satin Rose Gold and Crimson Red.

I guess it’s a nice change of pace from the silver, white, black, blue and red color options currently come with. Keep in mind that silver is the only free color on the two cars.

Crimson Red, also known as red.

At a base level, there’s a clear wrap that’ll show off the car’s and protect it from scratches and chips. The clear wrap will set owners back $5,000, according to Tesla’s website, and it’s available in either a gloss or satin finish. Just so ya know, the clear wrap doesn’t include door jambs, unlike the color wraps.

, the average cost of wrapping a family sedan is about $3,000. For a compact crossover like the Model Y, you’ll be looking at about a $3,500 price tag. That average makes what Tesla is offering a hell of a lot more expensive, but Tesla claims its some sort of super-special, unkillable wrap.

says that the installation “...may take five to seven business days from the time that you drop off your vehicle.” Definitely keep in mind that the automaker won’t be providing a loaner vehicle during that time.

So, I suppose if you want your blob car to stick out in a crowd from other blob cars, and you just love how much care Tesla puts into its vehicles, this is probably a good deal to you. However, if you’re anyone else in the known universe, eight grand is a lot of cash for a new color on what is basically an economy car.

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Is A Subaru Outback Now, Too
Despite my just calling the 2021 facelift ugly , the new car is coming to America in both hybrid and wagon form again, and that means the wagon’s doomsday clock ticks further away from midnight. I can’t be mad at that. While the U.S. has already enjoyed the regular...

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Ditches The Giant Spoiler For Ultimate Top Speed
There are all kinds of supercars if you want something that’s meant to ape a Formula One car for the road. But what about a streamliner record car for the road? This is the Absolut, which figured 1,600 horsepower wasn’t enough to get a sufficiently manic top speed. It...

Hyundai's EVs Are Going To Look Cool As Hell
As Mercedes-Benz has quite clearly demonstrated with the unfortunate new E-Class, automotive design is in a bit of a rut, perhaps only to be salvaged by the new design freedoms of electric and hydrogen cars. And the concept shows that Hyundai is about to mop the floor with everyone....

Bentley Presents Coachbuilt Bacalar Touring Car And It Is Already Sold Out
If you’re like me, you’ve come to find that most Bentleys are, you know, just a bit too chintzy for your tastes. Sure, they’ll use either or cows for the interior, but those are usually uneducated rural cows, without any real refinement. You demand something better, something deeper, richer,...
